  1. LB log - 2014 Week 46

    After paying a second visit to the arcade to play Pendual, I've come to the realization that I can't particularly justify making a day out of going there and playing the game without having my own eamuse card. I've done some things through the week to acquire one, and the only question is if I get a standard one or a Japanese-only premium one. Hoping for the latter, but I made arrangements for both to come in.

    Otherwise, work snowballed into a rather draining end of the week. The ...

    Dentist visit was made and proved to be very much necessary. A molar at the top, rear, and left side of the mouth had a huge cavity and was on its way to rotting entirely out. I have an appointment to get a root canal and crown in two stages, the first of which will be this Monday. They did a partial procedure already to stop the flareups and their work was very quick and direct. Shots to the gums were effortless, and they wasted no effort or time in scraping any garbage they could find on my teeth. ...

    The time of scheduled dispatch for my route is 130 AM. Due to some kind of issues related to employee staffing at the GM Parts Service Operation center, there was a combination of larger than usual orders met with fewer people to work them. As a result, I had two days this week where I left from the hub to start my route at 4AM. Two and a half hours behind schedule. Needless to say, that translated to even more time lost by the end of the day as I had much more traffic to endure than usual.

    I had some time to get the SIM card replaced in my phone yesterday, but it doesn't seem to have made any dramatic improvement. When I was at the store, the clerk pointed out that I had several updates yet to be installed, but I still can't update the phone system software itself yet. Searching on the error code shows no consistent answer for how it can be fixed, and that some people simply can't get past it at all.

    The test question project had me put in six hours of extra work off ...

    To Do. Dental appointment, resolve issue on pay check for missing pre load, pay cable bill because I couldn't do so while their system was down, cancel Zipbox payments.

    I made a three hour extra route run today, and it was the first time that I had finally had a confluence of availability outside of the job as well as having the route not give me a ton of extra work on the day. The volume for the standard route was light and there was few returns. On the subject of the standard route, ...

    Since it's clear that my current work schedule takes up enough of my time and energy that I can't indulge in the luxury of playing this game every single day, and that I've had several lapses in my daily score postings, I've resolved to do what's second best for the future in that I'll just make one post per week to collect any plays that I've accumulated in that timeframe. I've thought about doing this for a while but never really felt compelled to change anything until now.

    Listen. ...

    Today was definitely dryer than yesterday, but unfortunately my shoes were still damp, so that didn't exactly help matters. I also came to realize that I needed to buy an extra layer of clothing to better handle the low temperature of the night. I probably would have been fine in two T shirts while working in the trailer itself, but driving in the weather with the door being unable to make a tight seal when closed was enough to make it uncomfortable for me. I guess somehow between making that walk ...

    Wet, cold, and miserable was the start to my work day. It was bad enough that I let myself be bilked out of $50 so that I could get a hammer, crowbar, and a can of penetrating oil to liberate the lift gate pin because said items weren't available at the home base. On one hand, I could have left the items there at the end of the day and be reimbursed - but on the other hand, I may not necessarily be able to access those items the next time I need them, so I chose to eat the cost. At least once I ...

    Can someone please tell me why my commute home was fifty minutes today? Why are there more construction projects popping up on these side streets now? Isn't that what the summer is for? At least the actual process of the route run today was fine. I even left a half hour late and still made it back at scheduled time. The new key ring helps, and I wish I would have thought of doing something like it on my first day.

    I played some songs. They were basically OK.

    I spent the weekend on a special project which required me to do some research of tax rules and laws, and that had me revisit pages which I had seen years ago as I studied to take the SEE myself. The project organizer has been rather lenient and accommodating to my limited availability, despite my attempt to excuse myself from it beforehand after coming to realize the timeframe at stake. I hope it's all good enough for them to work with, or at very least, good enough for them to justify paying me ...

    I've been consuming those 5 Hour Energy shots more frequently lately than ever before, and I'm quite surprised as to how effective they are. I tried it a few odd times years ago and I don't recall it having the same effect on me at any of those past times as it does now. I'm mentioning it here because I didn't feel the need to have one today, and I seem to be definitely affected by the deprivation. The last thing I need is an addiction to those things, but if that's what it takes to bring the bacon ...

    I think two simple words accurately summarize the overall feeling that I've carried since waking up last night and still have with me at the present moment: Flare up. That's all you need to know? Yeah, I assumed as such too. Though I can at least mention that today's route run was basically as smooth as possible, without annoyances on the road or otherwise and me being back home by 1030AM. That much was very nice.

    Songs went better today than yesterday, probably for that aforementioned ...

    Everything was fine until the third last stop. I even had a few transmissions to take aboard, and I had yet another 2AM start because of a last minute loading error correction, but I was still rolling through without issue to that point. Then it was just one stupid thing after another. I could have been back to the hub by around 9, and instead it was 1030. Again.

    Songs were mostly bad today.

    For the last day of work last week, I was awake at 830PM on Friday night, and once I was done and got home, I settled in for another long haul with D3 ROS and managed to stay up until midnight of Saturday. I have no idea how I managed to do that, but I do know that it fundamentally set everything else off course for the remainder of my time off. I had two teleconfrence events to attend to on the following Sunday and Monday, and I at least managed to follow through on those; though the latter of ...

    By the time I was at the end of the route I was waiting for something bad to happen, as during the entire morning, everything actually worked out well and as intended. I had no issues with massive quantities of returns, faulty equipment, traffic delays, or any other kind of obstacle which has managed to cross my path in the past few days.

    I even had enough time to visit my parents after the shift was over.

    Songs. I never would have guessed that I would get Red by Full ...
